CNE has also struck a deal with Jaunt Studios to produce two narrative virtual reality series, including unscripted Family View, which will follow some extraordinary family businesses.

CNE president Dawn Ostroff, speaking to a packed house during the company's NewFront presentation, explained that all of the programming was designed to appeal to viewers emotions.

"We talked to real people to hear about their emotions behind their actions," she said. "They were using digital video to fulfill an emotional need or mood. They wanted to experience more, laugh more, know more and feel more connected. We program and market our content with all of that in mind."

In addition, CNE announced that will launch its 19th branded channel, Latino millennial-focused Vida Belleza. The addition comes as CNE has also added new partner channels, Warner Music, THR sister publication Billboard, Red Bull and CollegeHumor.
